Mother's Day Gift Idea: The Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Printer ~ Review

As a busy mom of three little ones, I'm always looking for ways to make my day to day tasks easier. I've learned one of the best ways to do this is start by being more organized, and am thankful that Epson is there to help!

For those who visit here often you know we are huge fans of the Epson Brand. I have owned several of their products and have always been very happy with the quality and ease of use. I enjoy browsing their great selection of printers often, and recently was drawn to their LabelWorks Printer LW-400. What better way to become more organized than being able to label things easily?!?

We were sent the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 to review, and I couldn't have been happier! I had a feeling this was the answer I've been looking for.

When the LabelWorks printer arrived I was happy to see that along with the printer were three different tapes to help me in testing it out. There was the 18mm black on silver tape, 12 mm iron-on (fabric) tape, and 18 mm iron-on (fabric) tape.

I was immediately impressed to see that this label printer was not only going to help me stay organized with labeling different things in my kitchen, storage closet, etc...but I could also use it to label my kids' clothes as well!

Of course, once I had checked it all out...I couldn't wait to see how it worked! Thankfully, after reading through the user-friendly instructions provided I got started in no time. The LabelWorks LW-400 can be ready to use in a matter of minutes in just two easy steps. First, I began by installing six AA batteries (which are not included with the printer). I then installed the 18 mm tape black on white tape that was included.

 

My kitchen is the room in my home that needs to be organized the most. I have been wanting to get my containers of sugar, flower, oatmeal, rice, etc...labeled for a long time so I had fun getting started with the Label Printer from Epson! To begin, I turned on the unit and was immediately impressed with the back-lit screen which makes it easy to see everything. I then browsed through the 300+ different symbols and 75+ different frames. I love that the LabelWorks printer lets me customize each and every label I make. It was neat to see how many symbols and frames there are. Whether you're printing off labels for office items, household items, electrical, or something else...this label printer has it all!

I found the household symbols and a picture of candy. I used that symbol and then found a font and style I liked. Once I had typed in the word candy next to the image, I simply pressed the green print button and it quickly printed out.

I was amazed with the quality of the label. The printing was exceptional and the label it self is something that adheres well to storage containers, files etc.

I also did the same with many other items in our kitchen, as well as my husband's home office and our storage room. My husband's office was in need of some major organization. Thanks to the specialty label print models like cable and wire wrap and tab, we were able to get things organized and label everything he needed to.

I am still working on the storage room, but thanks to the LabelWorks LW-400 it will take no time at all to get everything labeled and easier to organize and find. A job I once would have dreaded is something I look forward to now!! I am also planning on doing the kids' playroom as well which aid in cleanup I think.

Using different tape colors for different applications has also been a lot of fun, and so easy to do! I've used the Metallic silver tape for gift tags and of course, the white iron on for some of my kids' gear. For instance, Kaelyn's vest for church on Wednesday nights was constantly getting mixed up with the other children. Now that I've added her name to it though, we have had no problem at all. Best of all...it was so easy to do!

Overall I've been very impressed with the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Printer. The quality is fantastic and it is very simple to use. With all of the different features and options, as well as variety of tapes, I am on my way to becoming more organized and staying that way! Whether you're wanting to organize things at home, at work, or even your your garage...this label works printer is perfect for every job. I would definitely recommend it to others...and with Mother's Day not far away, think it would make an amazing gift for every busy mom.
